Abstract

In this study which was achieved at Izmir Bozyaka Teaching and Research Hospital, identifying the sensitivity and reliability of round window electrocochleographic records on children during cochlear implantation and investigating the applicability of the method on particularly problematic patient groups was aimed

Highlights

  • Cochlear implantation has been an enormous breakthrough in treating severe to profound hearing loss in patients that cannot benefit from conventional hearing aids [1]

  • The objective of this study is to examine the positive outcomes of aural rehabilitation among adult post lingually cochlear implant users for the sake of maximizing the device’s performance

  • The following paragraphs present each training method with the results obtained after its completion (Table 1), a method of training selection, as well as the differences of results observed with computer-based home training and cliniciandirected clinical training

Summary

Introduction

Cochlear implantation has been an enormous breakthrough in treating severe to profound hearing loss in patients that cannot benefit from conventional hearing aids [1]. It is important to initiate such training immediately after the fitting of the implant, which will include a series of exercises. The aim of this intervention technique is to train the mind on sound perception and uses and to provide awareness and recognition techniques for the brain’s auditory neurons as well as improving the listening skills. Repetitive exercises and continuous training are needed so that the employed auditory training shall achieve their purposes and goals for the sake of the listener’s proper and organized hearing. It is preferable to initiate the training after the patient has acquired the implant, which will help him maximize its benefits, Copyright © All rights are reserved by Paula Saidi
